Poderone lays in a beautiful position with excellent views of the rolling Tuscan hills and valleys around. There is free parking for all the guests of the hamlet within the property and there are no unpaved roads on the way to the location.

Hamlet Poderone is the perfect place from which to explore both the mountains and seaside. The coast offers gentle beaches, natural parks, fishing villages, resort towns all facing the clear waters of the Gulf of Argentario in the Mediterranean sea. The famous hot springs of Saturnia are thirty minute's drive away.Click here to see a story about the area in the Daily Mail.

Poderone is the ideal starting point for trips to the sea, Monte Amiata, the Southern wine country and the 'Tufo triangle' towns Pitigliano, Sovana and Sorano, all within a fifty-minute drive.

The Castello di Triana which can be seen from the hamlet is 6kms from the town of Roccalbegna. It sits on a rocky promontory and is enclosed by medieval stone walls, which are still in remarkably good condition. Outside the walls is the church of San Bernardino alla Triana. The castle is approxiamately 1km from the hamlet, so it is possible to walk there.

At Monte Amiata it is possible to go skiing during the winter and walking during summer.

Marina di Grosseto is less than one hour by car away from the "Tufo triangle" towns Pitigliano, Sovana and Sorano, the well-known Saturnia Spa and from Montalcino, famous for its Brunello red wine. It offers a wide range of sport facilities: outdoor activities include riding, hiking, biking, fishing, rollerskating, windsurfing and tennis.From Roccalbegna it is possible to reach the beautiful Monte Argentario area in 1 hour.The extraordinary promontory of Monte Argentario with its small coves and bays, is considered by dedicated scuba divers to be one of the most interesting zones in Italy for the abundance of fish and a sea bed rich in coral and shells. It is a large and hilly promontory in southern Tuscany. The area has a nature reserve and some relatively unspoilt beaches. There are two pretty harbour/resort towns at Monte Argentario which make good holiday bases: Porto Santo Stefano and Porto Ercole.
